A spinner has three sections. The table shows the results of spinning the arrow on the spinner 80 times. Three column table. First column values are Section 1 and 28. Second column values are Section 2 and 36. Third column values are Section 3 and 16. What is the experimental probability of the arrow stopping over Section 1? A. B. C. D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/28 7/20 7/13 4/5

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

where is table?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the fractions are sperated with spaces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Three column table. First column values are Section 1 and 28. Second column values are Section 2 and 36. Third column values are Section 3 and 16.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

So. A spinner with tree section, was spun 80 times. The spinner landed on Section 1, 28 times. The spinner landed on Section 2, 36 times. and The spinner landed on Section 3, 16 times.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

tree*three

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

The experimental probability of landing in section 1, is equal to the number of times the spinner landed in section 1, divided by the total number of spins.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so here are the answers a.1/28 b.7/20 c.7/13 d.4/5

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so set up the ratio (fraction), with the two relevant numbers in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

What are the relevant numbers: what is the number of landing in section 1 and what is the total number of spins?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28+36+16=80

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

What is the number of landings in section 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

good and the total number of spins is 80 so the experimental probability of landing in section 1, is equal to 28 / 80

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

simplify this fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/20

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the answer

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Yes. now you are done.
